# Emboss Class
 
Applies an emboss effect on an image.
 
**Namespace:** [Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Transforms](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm/N_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Transforms.htm.md)
 **Assembly:** Aurigma.GraphicsMill (in Aurigma.GraphicsMill.dll)
 
## Syntax
  
```csharp
public sealed class Emboss : MaskTransform
```
 
## Remarks
  
This effect imitates embossed image. You can adjust angle of the emboss (property [Angle](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm/P_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Transforms_Emboss_Angle.htm.md)). The strength of the effect is specified by [Amount](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm/P_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Transforms_Emboss_Amount.htm.md). Also you can set a height of the emboss (property [Height](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm/P_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Transforms_Emboss_Height.htm.md)). Avoid to set too large height, because it will not be looking naturally. The last parameter you can change is a brightness of the output image (property [Brightness](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm/P_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Transforms_Emboss_Brightness.htm.md)).
